INTENTIONALITY AND AWARENESS OF SUBJECT (Intencjonalnosc i swiadomosc podmiotu)

Authors and supporters of the category of intentionality claim that the foundations of all knowledge on the really existing world is perception approached as a subjective act of awareness thanks to which we recognize things directly. Perception of things is based on an individual seeing, hearing or touching; it is an experience of awareness which concerns a specific object. Many philosophers and psychologists connects awareness with emotional states. However, we cannot evoke emotions as we like and get rid of them even though we want it very much. Conscious emotions though - or the logic of emotions as F. Brentano used to terms them has a very intense and essential influence on the direction of actions and choices made by man.
